Black carbon from incinerators becomes a major factor in radiation scattering and heightens uncertainty in climate crisis models

New research in the Amazon reveals: Not only greenhouse gases affect global warming, but also particles in the air

A new discovery changes what we thought about the ghost wheel in the Golan Heights

As a result of geodynamic shifts in the area of ​​Rojam al-Khiri - the ground in the area rotated, so it is unlikely that the ancient site was used as an observatory
